The essays in this volume analyze strategies adopted by
contemporary novelists, playwrights, screenwriters, and biographers
interested in bringing the stories of early modern women to modern
audiences. It also pays attention to the historical women creators
themselves, who, be they saints or midwives, visual artists or
poets and playwrights, stand out for their roles as active
practitioners of their own arts and for their accomplishments as
creators. Whether they delivered infants or governed as monarchs,
or produced embroideries, letters, paintings or poems, their
visions, the authors argue, have endured across the centuries. As
the title of the volume suggests, the essays gathered here
participate in a wider conversation about the relation between
biography, historical fiction, and the growing field of biofiction
(that is, contemporary fictionalizations of historical figures),
and explore the complicated interconnections between celebrating
early modern women and perpetuating popular stereotypes about them.
